@MN5 Andre was superb for a long time. Just have been personality clash or something

Am wondering if Santner is a modern version of a Chris Harris. One of the first picks in a white ball team, just not so much red ball.

We've had many players like that over the years. Gavin Larsen also springs to mind

Colin de Grandhomme!

Colin de Grandhomme!

He often had a knack of fronting in tests. When he wasn't going out with a whimper!

He was the opposite. In an out of the white ball teams for a lot of his career. But was a constant in the test 11 from his debut.

Did very well for a guy whose whole career was a fluke judging from some of the comments on here.

6/41 on debut was crazy though, for a dirty medium pacer.

@Daffy-Jaffy not available in NZ - so ThreeNow is the shot (use the app and cast)

Bangladesh won the toss and will bat. No Ravindra.

Is Nicholls playing? He will be under significant pressure to perform, with Ravindra ready and waiting

[delicatessen]

Southee always keen to get rid of a review early

[Daffy Jaffy]

@nzzp It was playing ok in NZ initially during the buildup. TV3 must have objected since they belatedly bought the rights. Easily fixed, I am now watching from Toronto!

That's not on Southee - he is always optimistic. The slips and keeper should have heard the bat on that and not reviewed.

Still a bit of shape out there... not sure it'll be there much in this test, so take it while you can!

Yes he is more of a choice between Phillips and Ravindra for that allrounders spot.
IMO they should have selected Ravindra ahead of Phillips.
Nicholls on the back of 200 in his last test was always going to get picked.

[Chris]

Nicholls for all the shit he gets still has 9 test centuries and a decent test record.
2. V Pakistain
2. V South Africa
2. V Sri Lanka
1 v England
1 V Bangladesh
1 V West Indies

They are a stain on the game with their match fixing

[Gunner]

Can only assume they went with Phillips over Ravindra as he offers an alternative spin bowling option to take it away from the left hand batsmen?

not one of these in these locations, all at home and one at a neutral venue

[Bovidae]

As I mentioned previously Nicholls has a lot of low scores between centuries in recent seasons. The 200 runs is probably a similar number of runs combined since his last ton.
